Hoppah, myself and others have tried to create a third station but we all seem to have problems with the rear gate. Since its your scripts I think your the only one who can figure it out.

Thanks in advance!

Ive dug out my old files and attempted to get somewhere. atm i am at the stage where the rear doors dont open, but when the unti gets inside using the front door and parks, the rear doors open.

In the Lafiresation.script, i am unsure if lines 98 and 99 are meant to be like that, if u could double check them that would be good!

in that quick look thats all i saw, ill ocntinue and have a longer look and compare to mine.

[Xplorer4x4]

Would you post your scripts so I can compare and contrast?

As for 98/99 thanks for pointing that out, it was a typo on 99 which explains a problem not related to this

[SleepyLizard]

Please note, i did this on V1.8 of the La Mod!

LAFireStation.script

LAToFireStation.script

The only problem(i think - obviously its hard to say since I cant get it working either ) I see in your lafirestation.script(havent looked at latofirestation, is ChildID == 9 should be a gate command for FS3 but you have it for FS1.

[SleepyLizard]

Ive havent added in the battalion cheif for Firestation 3 which is ChildID == 9 in ur code, is that what u mean?

I have been looking thro yours, i dont know where to look tbh. Ive been concentration on LAToFireStation as the problem is returning to the station, but no luck! Ill keep looking!

*EDIT* Sitrep, when i send a unit back to Station 1 or 2, the front doors(if open) close and the rears dont. For station 3, when sent back, nothing, the units then go and park via the open front door and thats it.

[Xplorer4x4]

I see your point, and in that case you might be right on that. From what I can see your latofirestation might be right but I would check line 788 where it says:

DUMMY_GATES, Caller, 9

And verify it refer to the right child id in lafirestation.

Other then that, no idea. I think we will have to wait on Hoppah unless ShaneGreen finds a fix.

[SleepyLizard]

Ow dam, so thats what i was doing wrong! i wondered what was going on! Ok station 1 and 2 sorted, time to get station 3 working!

[squamishfire]

any updates on this? it could be cool to have a third fire station.

Xplorer,

A couple of months ago I was changing around the LA Mod for a personal mod and was able to get a third station functioning properly. In the interest of assisting more experienced modders then myself, If you want to PM me your email address, I'd be happy to send you what I had for reference.

[JimmyKid]

Yeah, I like the idea of a third FS. If anyone gets theis done, can someone tell me how?

[Xplorer4x4]

I am still working on this but I have a 3rd station in my WIP Mod. So far it works, but it only works some of the time.

[Texas_DPS]

i bet if you seperate the stations they would work correctly, just a opinion. been trying and ill let you know how it goes.

[Xplorer4x4]

Yeah thats not a bad idea. I mean I planned to split them up one of these days, but might jump on that latter on.

[ChrisGa]

got a question is there a way to expand FS2 ? I dont see a need for another fire station but I would like to add a few more bays on with FS2.

[Texas_DPS]

i have a working third station. i just need to fine tune the returnto script. i have mine integrated with the firestation and firestation start scripts. i can call units into all 3 stations, in the begining they all rais the front doors and sound alarm to man units, they also have a working show/hide roof as well as units returning to station get out and go inside. just needs some fine tunes.

[DMC]

could you actually show us a video or some screens?
i'm really looking forward to seeing this.
maybe you could release it as an submod?!

if you ask, i am happy to show. I have been working on something a little different and old school. the three stations work, mostly. when the freeplay starts all 11 front gates open, spawn vehicles and staff vehicles. i am having a little problem with the tofs script but i have only really been hitting it hard maybe 5 days. it took about 3 days to get most of the problems and the fs and fs start scripts right. i had thought about breaking the fs return script into 3 seperate scripts but i was trying to be stuperman and make them all one. still toying with that idea.

for all you non believers (there always is) i left the map open for the screen shots.

(Xplorer hit me up and ill shoot you the files to check them out)

[ChrisGa]

nice looking stations texas. I got a question. Im running the la mod map how do I change to the map you have ( the original em4 map )??

[Texas_DPS]

you just need to install the mod without the new map, and when you update it make sure you dont check the update for the new map.
